Cracking the Code===
Complete the viewing guide as you watch the video (this video will be viewed in segments over several days)


To view the video in its' entirety, go to
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/body/cracking-the-code-of-life.html

Questions 1- 3 are in segments 1 and two

Watch Cracking the Code of Life on PBS. See more from NOVA.



Questions 4-7

Watch Cracking the Code of Life on PBS. See more from NOVA.


Answer PART 2 (the essay responses) in your "cracking the code" packet

create a model of DNA





Take Notes on DNA structure from the Powerpoint (you will complete the replication, transcription and translation sections later)

use your notes to fill in the graphic organizer


Read through chapter section 12.1 and chapter section 12.2;
begin working on the crossword and worksheet using your notes and chapter reading as resources (you will need additional information about the history of DNA to complete the worksheet and puzzle - this information is provided in the video and the timeline below)



Review DNA structure by watching the video. ADD TO YOUR NOTES from the previous day



Take notes on the history of DNA - important scientists and their contributions to our understanding
view the video to see another teacher's presentation on the same idea (it goes fast so listen close)

if you prefer an slower and drier presentation, check out http://youtu.be/LIV_dLpiF50?t=2m5s for the same information

and to hear Watson's own version of events, check out
http://ed.ted.com/lessons/james-watson-on-how-he-discovered-dna



visit the time line at http://www.dnai.org/timeline/ to explore more about DNA History on your own
use your findings to complete the DNA History i-wheel


Complete the graphic organizer as you view the video


Cracking your genetic code - NOVA






DNA replication
Continue notes from the Structure of DNA powerpoint on DNA replication

view the animation at

on your iPad, check out the video on Basic DNA reproduction in your Click and Learn HHMI Biointeractive App

Use your findings to complete the worksheets



View the assigned segment of Jurassic Park and answer the video viewing guide questions



REVIEW DNA replication and learn about Transcription and Translation
review the transcription and translation section of the Structure of DNA powerpoint

read the summary of transcription from ck-12 be sure to answer the questions and follow the links in the reading to see the animations and other details




Visit: http://learn.genetics.utah.edu/content/begin/dna/ and click on the items in the center column to learn about transcription and translation and code for a protein.
